Paying Your Fees

Fees Overview

Each student is charged a
fee for each academic year of study. Fees, based on information held on the
student information system, are calculated accordingly around the point of
enrolment but will, during the academic year, be updated/amended in the event
of any registration change. Students are advised to regularly monitor their
Portico accounts for updates. The fee charged covers all elements of
registration, enrolment, tuition, supervision and examination for each
full/part academic year which a student is enrolled. The fee also
includes membership of UCL Student’s Union. It does not cover living costs,
books or materials or travel. Fees generally increase annually and are set
approximately 15 months before the start of the academic session to which they
apply.

Student Responsibility for Fees

When
a student accepts a place to study at UCL they assume responsibility for the payment
of their tuition fees. A student must therefore have
sufficient financial resources available in this country to meet the fees,
maintenance and other expenses that may be incurred throughout their programme
of study. Fee
levels can be found on the Fee Schedules (please note that fees for subsequent
years are subject to increase).

Time-Limited Enrolment

Students enrolling at the
start of an academic year, who do not pay fees or provide the required
evidence of sponsorship (see “Sponsored Students”) at enrolment will be
given 'Time Limited Enrolment'. Time Limited Enrolment expires on 31
October each year and, by this date, it is essential that 50% of a student’s
personal fee liability for the academic year is paid. In addition, any
sponsorship (internal/external) must be recorded on a student’s Portico account
by this date. Students in receipt of fee funding from Student Finance England
are not required to provide written evidence of their fee award. Failure
to comply to the terms of Time limited Enrolment could lead to a loss of
services/facilities and, ultimately, the suspension of a student’s
registration. Please note that students enrolled as TLE will not receive
any UCL or SLC loan, bursary or studentship payments. Once the TLE
conditions have been met, a student’s registration, on Portico, will be
updated to “Enrolled”.

When to Pay Your Own Fee Liability

Paper invoices are not
sent to students although a student can, from their Portico account, print
their own Fee Notification (pro-forma invoice). Fees can be paid in
advance of enrolment, at enrolment or at the latest by 31 October
each year. A minimum payment of 50% is required by 31
October although the full amount may be paid. Second instalments are due by
the following 1 February. Students will be able to see their
Fee transactions (amounts, deadlines etc.) and pay online via Portico.

Overseas Undergraduates Paying in Full

New overseas self-financing undergraduate students are offered
the facility of paying for their whole programme of study in advance at the
start of their first year, with the fee level fixed at the rate of their first
year of study. Applications to pay in this way should be made, in writing, to
the Student Fees Office prior to the programme of study and payment must be
made in full before, or at, enrolment.
